The open, airy atmosphere of a Spanish hacienda-style home makes it a perfect custom home for Austin and its surrounding areas. With a mixed-material design that combines cobblestone, stucco, tile, and dark wood, the eclectic Spanish hacienda-style befits a country estate just as well as a trendy capital city neighborhood.

At Mangum Builders, we love the Spanish hacienda-style because it gives us a chance to create a space that is beautiful inside and out. Whether you want us to build a courtyard fountain or create contrasting flooring with hardwood set inside a tile border, we are up for the challenge!

What Is the Spanish Hacienda Style Home?

The Spanish hacienda-style is named after the sprawling haciendas, or estates, of the Spanish Empire colonies in the Americas. This style is recognizable by its low-pitched barrel tile roof and square or U-shaped layout. With a focus on the central courtyard, there is an easy flow between the interior and exterior spaces via arched porticos. Exquisite tile and ironwork detailing the courtyard’s cobblestone patio often accompany an outdoor fireplace or kitchen so you can enjoy meals and entertaining under the stars.  

When you’re not living it up outdoors, many large windows fill this style’s spacious open layout with natural light. The floor plan of a Spanish hacienda usually includes a large living room with a brick or stone fireplace. Like the division in a ranch home, the active areas of the home—like the kitchen, living, and dining rooms—are usually separated from the bedrooms by hallways or breezeways. Other common features of a Spanish hacienda-style home are dramatic details such as:

• Ceilings with exposed wooden beams 
• Carved wooden fixtures, cabinets, doors and doorways
• Intricate ironwork detailing on railings, light fixtures and windows
• Rich finishes, such as marble or painted tiles
